Donations sought for injured puppy

Vouluteers have rallied to the cause of an injured puppy found abandoned last month by a San Antonio park police officer, but more help is needed, KSAT-TV reports.

The 3-month-old Labrador-Shar Pei mix, now named Havana, had fractures to her rear legs when she was brought to Animal Care Services. But San Antonio Pets Alive volunteers who were at ACS when she arrived quickly found her a foster home with Denise Armenta, the station says.

ACS spokeswoman Lisa Norwood said what caused Havana’s injuries is unknown, but her rescuers said she might’ve been hit with a baseball bat. Norwood said she might’ve been run over by a vehicle.

Unfortunately, Havana’s fractures are healing incorrectly, prompting the need for surgery that will cost about $2,000.

“We need people to reach out and donate whatever they can,” Armenta told the station.
